ASIA’S LARGEST ONLINE POKER ROOM RAISES MONEY FOR INDIAN COVID RELIEF

Asia’s largest online poker room, Natural8, is fundraising to support COVID-19 relief efforts in India. 

The operator says it will be matching every donation dollar for dollar until 29 May, with every one donating $1 USD or above also receiving tickets to a flipout. Prizes for the flipout will increase as more donations are collected, and will be announced soon.

All contributions will go to community run fund CryptoRelief, and will help provide medicine, oxygen, and other essential items needed to help India fight COVID-19. For full transparency all donations will be published on the Natural8 website. 

CryptoRelief fund has so far donated almost $1M towards providing #OxygenForEveryone during the current Indian crisis. 

Donations can be made in the following ways:

• Making a transfer (via the Natural8 app) to helpindia@natural8.com
• Contacting the Natural8 24/7 live support team
• Sending Natural8 an email at support@natural8.com

Kudos to Natural8 and its players for helping India during this unprecedented crisis. Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen several gaming and tech companies step up to help, including British gambling giant Entain, which last week announced a £100K GBP donation, Swiss computer peripherals and software manufacturer Logitech, which donated $2M USD, and South Korean game developer and publisher, Krafton, which contributed over $200K USD.
